Migration Institute of Australia (MIA) Release 26 March 2025 Permanent Migration Program Planning Levels 2025-26 The Migration Institute of Australia (MIA) today welcomed no apparent reduction in the permanent migration program, as it appears the program will remain at 185,000 places in FY2025-26.

"This is a good sign for employers and businesses who are facing skills shortages and for Australian citizens wishing to reunite with their loved ones. With net overseas migration projected to track downwards towards normal and sustainable levels the government has made a sensible decision in not reducing the permanent migration program in a kneejerk manner” said Peter van Vliet CEO MIA.

A well-managed migration program is vital to growing Australia’s economy and ensuring our future remains strong and prosperous. Migration also plays a critical role for regional development, supporting and sustaining regional communities across Australia.

“Maintaining the current permanent migration planning level enhances business confidence in addressing skills shortages via Employer Sponsored visas, and contributes to our economy and tax base, as well as ameliorating population ageing,” said Peter van Vliet, MIA CEO

“It will also ensure that partner visa waiting times do not extend further which is better news for Australians wanting to settle with their loved ones”.

“The MIA supports a properly managed, strategic migration program to continue to support Australia’s society and economy into the future. Australia is significantly shaped by migration, contributing to a productive, diverse and dynamic society”, Mr van Vliet added.

My take is that most likely DHA is not going to talk anything about this as ALP do not want Coalition to make a fuss out of it before elections. Then there are elections which can alter the program numbers....

Any thoughts Greg?
